Correct answer: the narrator is able to justify his failures with theirs.
Explanation:
All throughout the text, the narrator is trying to justify his/her choice to give up studying natural history. The author felt like if the great minds of the time could be so easily overthrown and had been ignorant on so many topics until then, then it was worthless to pursue the study of such subjects. The narrator feels like their belittlement makes up for the choice not to pursue those studies in natural history.
This question is about "Fish Cheeks," where paragraph 2 reveals that the narrator feels embarrassed about her parents' culture, as is further explained below.
<h3>What is the narrator's point of view?</h3>
In the short story "Fish Cheeks," more specifically in paragraph 2, we find that the narrator's point of view is one of embarrassment. The narrator is the daughter of a Chinese couple living in a America. She has fallen in love with the minister's son, and she has just found out that the boy and his family were invited for dinner at her house.
The narrator feels embarrassed about her parents' culture and is afraid of what the boy will think of the dishes to be served during dinner. To develop this point of view, she asks herself a series of questions:
"What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food?"
With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

Here are 4 explanations as to why men and women react differently to alcohol consumption:
<span><span>Capacity to dilute alcohol:
While the concentration of water in the body of an average man is
around 61 percent, a woman has a considerable less water content, that
of 52 percent. As a result, a man”s body is naturally equipped to dilute
alcohol more efficiently than a woman”s body – regardless of the weight
factor.</span><span>Capacity to metabolize alcohol:
As mentioned earlier, women have lower concentrations of dehydrogenase –
the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol before it passes into the
bloodstream. So, a woman”s body processes alcohol comparatively slower
than a man”s body would.</span><span>Hormonal changes:
Variations in the hormonal levels prior to menstruation can cause women
to become intoxicated faster. This is especially evident during the
days just before the commencement of the periods. Women who regularly
take estrogen-added medications like birth control pills often
experience extended effects of intoxication since the medication slows
down the rate at which the body is able to eliminate the alcohol
content.</span><span>Body fat:
The content of body fat is directly related to the rate of absorption
and metabolizing of alcohol. Women have a higher concentration of body
fat than men. Since fat does not absorb alcohol, the entire alcohol
content remains in a highly concentrated form in the bloodstream.
Consequently, women experience alcohol-induced intoxication faster than
men. Here is an article on how long does alcohol stay in your blood, you might find it helpful.</span></span>
